Chapter 71 Troubles (2)

It was only later that Zhou firmly determined the bottom line.

Zhou believes that unless there is a catastrophic disaster and the whole family is faced with the situation of "if they don't sell their land, they will starve to death immediately", the family's land must not be reduced.

The boss and his wife did not dare to mention the issue of land sales anymore.

However, even if the land is not sold, the old couple's preference for larger houses is still obvious to all.

When the restaurant in town was looking for a shopkeeper, in order for the eldest brother Xia Youyu to be able to secure the job safely, the old couple even put aside their old faces and asked for favors from the eldest daughter Xia Xuejiao's mother-in-law's family.

As a result, the old man rented a house in the town, hired servants, and bought a maid. His life was comparable to that of a truly wealthy family, and no outsiders came to talk to the old couple.

The other housekeepers, on the one hand, did not know the inside story, and on the other hand, even if they had a vague guess, they did not dare to reveal it in front of the old couple.

At least, I can't be the one who stands out.

The eldest family lived comfortably in the town for two or three years. Then, bang, the old couple separated without any warning!

This incident simply threw Xia Youcai's family into a tailspin.

However, when the family separation first began, Mrs. Liu did not really realize how much loss their family had suffered.

The money Xia Youcai earned in the restaurant was actually enough for their expenses in the town.

However, if they can draw more money from home, they will naturally be able to save more money.

Although the supplies at home have been cut off and reduced, they still have a lot of savings on hand, so they are not stretched thin.

However, there is a big difference between having a water source and not having a water source.

A few months later, when Mrs. Liu was doing her accounting one day, she was shocked to find that the cash she could mobilize was less than twenty taels.

This little money is enough for what!

Not to mention, Xia Dalang was socializing with his classmates at Songxi Academy. Even if he went out to a mid-range restaurant and had a simple meal, he would still have to pay at least two taels of silver.

Besides, it's your turn to be the host and treat guests to dinner. Do you have the nerve to restrict the guests how to order?

Jinhua is getting older, and she is already eighteen after the New Year. If she is not engaged at this age, it is equivalent to being left alone. Liu invited the matchmaker to come over for tea, and at least she had to give her a few cents of money for tea.

Mrs. Liu secretly scolded the matchmaker for being evil-hearted, and at the same time had to bear the pain and give her some money so that people could publicize the benefits of Jinhua and tell Jinhua about rich people.

As for the pension money for the elderly couple that was not needed before the separation, as well as the daily life at home, not to mention the so-called seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

In the future, Jinhua and Yinghua will get married, and Xia Dalang will go to Beijing to take the exam. Which one does not require money?

No matter how much money I have on hand, it is never enough!

Mrs. Liu thought about it and suddenly couldn't help but feel panicked.

Therefore, she encouraged the eldest brother Xia Youcai to see if she could coax the old couple and help them out with some money. It would be even better if the old couple could sell a few acres of land.

However, after returning to the village, the boss Xia Youcai kept suppressing Mrs. Liu and did not let her speak freely.

He just asked her to flatter her mother-in-law Zhou, to be considerate and caring to her sister-in-law Xia Yujiao, and to be polite to her sisters-in-law. At least she had to do her best on the surface and not leave any words to others.

Ms. Liu was a little impatient, but Xia Youcai was not always easy to talk to, so Mrs. Liu didn't dare not listen to his orders.

Therefore, although Ms. Liu felt aggrieved in her heart, she never lost her smile on her face.

The couple lived in the village for two days. Xia Youcai found out about Mai Miao and felt that he knew what was going on. It happened that the old man mentioned the matter in public, so he stopped pressing Liu and let her play around as she pleased.

Mrs. Liu really jumped up and down.

Moreover, there is also the second wife, Mrs. Sun, who plays more happily than Mrs. Liu.

It's just that although the first and second bedrooms are both having a great time, their demands are completely different.

Xia Youcai from the big house was thinking about taking this opportunity to let the old couple reunite the separated family. After all, after the separation, they only took advantage of the old couple, and they did not dare to do so.

It's too blatant, and the money you can get is too limited.

Seeing the days in the other rooms getting more and more interesting, Xia Youcai felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Ms. Liu understood her boss's intentions and naturally followed her closely - she also felt that she had been more comfortable after the separation than before. From the perspective of receiving anger, she would be equally affected by the separation regardless of whether the family was separated.

But now that the family is really separated, the money that can pass through my hands has been reduced a lot. It really feels like money is tight, and I never want to do it again.

But Xia Yougui and Sun, the second wife, have no desire to return to the situation before the separation.

The second house had the largest population, and Xia Yougui always felt that he was the head of the house who suffered the most from having to do all the work for the whole family. After all, Erlang was already a grown man, and although Sanlang and Silang were still young, they could still serve as half of the labor force.

Peach Blossom and Xinghua are both honest children, willing to contribute and willing to endure hardships. Although Meihua is a little younger, she is not the one who knows how to be lazy, play coquettishly, and act coquettishly.

After all the calculations, no matter what, it is my room that suffers the most.

Therefore, Xia Yougui, the second eldest son, just wanted to continue with the wheat business and squeeze some money out of the fourth house and the old couple, but he did not want to go back to before the separation at all.

The old couple were silent for a long time, watching the second room in the big house still arguing with the fourth room at first, and gradually arguing over whether to return to the life before the separation, without saying a word.

The old man lit a pack of cigarettes, and the smoke filled the air, making it difficult to see his face.

The old lady Zhou's hands were never idle. At this moment, she was using a big awl to pick up the soles of the shoes. However, although Mrs. Zhou was angry, she did not speak.

He just stabbed the soles of the shoes with an awl, while keeping a straight face, pursed his lips, and straightened his two thin lips, almost forming a straight line.

Wu was happy to watch the show, but she noticed that the old couple's mood was not right, so she kept silent and just secretly enjoyed it in her heart.

The fourth couple, Xia Youtian and Jiang, couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere. Although they were sweating on their foreheads, they wanted to talk about giving up the wheat seeds, but they never found the chance.

Mr. Liu and Mr. Sun were quarreling fiercely. The cracks were so dense that neither a needle could penetrate nor water could pour through.

No matter who it is, don't even think about getting in the conversation.

However, Xia Youcai and Xia Yougui have always been somewhat in cahoots with each other.

Although their daughters-in-law were fighting against each other in front of them, the two old brothers quietly put their heads together and started chattering in front of everyone.
